Kelsi Nielsen, for me, is the glue that holds all of the Wildcats together. Over dramatic and very Sharpay-esque comment you might say but I stand by it.
Kelsi is the quiet one in the corner that keeps them all in line.

There would be no musicals for this group of kids to sing without her, she is the playmaker.
Because she is a passionate and determined person with goals she provides lyrics for the other to sing and catch the audience with their meaning.
I realize not every song that we see is done by her or for their musical but the majority are and she still is the one making the music.

But more importantly Kelsi is always there to hold the group together in times of conflict.
She is a loyal friend and always there when someone, mainly Troy, is second guessing themselves.

Kelsi is smart, strong, determined, kind, and a bit quirky, but she wouldn't be her without those hats and glasses.
She has always been sure of herself, and always sure of her friends.~Magie (Magpiez ) on her favorite HSM character, Kelsi Nielson

This is my first horror flick, yes. I'm kinda disappointed that I don't get to die.♫

I'm a little nervous, actually, because this is my first tour and it's in my home town so I hope people like it.
But really, this is a dream job for me because I love animals and I've always been passionate about protecting the environment.♫
